How do military veterans fit into American identity?

Update: 2017-11-12

Description

Support for our troops is a common refrain during campaign season and after a national crisis. But how often do Americans think about vets on the days in between?

This week on Flyover, as we reflect on Veteran's Day weekend, we're talking about where veterans fit into America's national identity.

This week's guests were WUNC military reporter Jay Price and Melissa Bryant, a former Army captain and Iraq veteran who's currently the director of political and intergovernmental affairs for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
